I actually finished the game with all characters, witch doesn't mean that I get all the aspects of the game... Still hanging on guard reversals. Somebody found out combos to add? I am waiting for any addition, correction or suggestion. E-mail me or post to this newsgroup. Want to do list: - color schemes: additions welcome, cause 8*14 characters aren't cheap (yes, the game is 1 CHF to play (.75$)) - Japanese names of the moves and their translations - endings (quotes + descriptions) Sasquatch and more exact versions of the ones given there. Look at Victors for a good example. - any proposals for better descriptions or move names, cause I'm real lame finding them - victory quotes: Bishamon, Pyron, Sasquatch - combos - tips for guard reversals CONTENTS: # Changes from the previous version # General playing # The fighters # Color schemes # Speed change # Auto-block mode # Quarter and half circles # Move names # Special meter # Pursuit # Throw softening # Throws # Savety roll # Guard reversals # Button specials # Notation # Methods to win # Extra Specials # Thanks to The moves for each character, in alphabetical order of their performers # Endings # Short moves list # Changes from version 3.0 - added first combo : Morrigan's 54 hit - found minimal motions - found Rikuo's Oyster Smasher history - corrected some ES-moves (imaginary, unknown, real) - finished with all pursuits - major retyping work done - added short moves list - added description of half-circle motions # General playing Kick buttons : Short Forward Roundhouse o o o o o o Punch Buttons : Jab Strong Fierce All move notation (in keeping with tradition) Will be for characters facing to The right. Characters now have very special rushes forward -o -o or backward. Try out the special use of each "punch+kick" means to push relative punch and kick buttons together such as jab+short, strong+forward, or fierce+roundhouse "all punch" means to push 2 punch buttons together "all kick" means to push 2 kick buttons together "all button" means to push four buttons in unison It's actually easier if you push 3 buttons, because you're sure the games registers at least two of them... A dot .o- means charging a little while ES stands for ESpecial-A normal move used with 2 buttons. Uses 1 level EX stands for Extra Special-A unique move which uses 1 energy level GR stands for Guard reversal move # The fighters The coolest is the category for the best moves, style, etc... The best is the best computer-killer The brain is the best computer AI Personal: The coolest The best The brain Victor Rikuo Rikuo Actually 5 votes : The coolest The Best The brain Felicia 2 Felicia 1.5 Rikuo 2 Raptor 1 Morrigan 1 Morrigan 1.5 Talbain 1 Anakaris 1 Talbain 1 Bishamon .5 Rikuo 1 Demitri .5 Huitzil .5 Raptor .5 Also, the best fighter against humans Raptor 1 Demitri 1.5 Pyron 1 Morrigan .5 # Color schemes All warriors can be chosen in eight different colors. Find out your favorite. Use roundhouse to get the classic color of the first game, start to get the alternate color of the first game. There is also a special dark color to get. Hold down jab+forward for this one. Anakaris jab+forward: White bandages, black and yellow mask Bishamon : Blue skin and armor Demitri roundhouse : Blue clothes and aura Donovan jab : Gold and brown robes Huitzil roundhouse : Golden Huitzil Lord Raptor forward : Gray skin and black pants Pyron : Full blue flame Rikuo fierce : Golden and purple Talbain start : Gray hair and red pants Note that all of the dark colors look plain cool to me # Speed change You can use normal or turbo speed. In a two player game, the winner chooses the speed # Auto-block mode In this mode, as long as you aren't pressing a button to attack, the computer guards for you. You can walk around not being hit. The computer will guard automatically 10 times per match-up. Being in auto-block mode gets you auto-chain-combos. Push three attack buttons (kick or punches), and the computer chains jab-strong-fierce or short-forward-roundhouse into a combo. You can't make manual chain combos in this mode... #Chain combos In the Darkstalkers Series, there is a combo system that allows you to chain a series of normal attacks together. It involves you cancelling the animation of a normal move into another normal so that the hits come out in rapid succession. To do a chain combo, you must hit the next attack at the precise moment your first attack makes contact. The order you can chain moves together goes in the following: Jab-Short-Strong-Forward-Fierce-Roundhouse Thus, conceivably, you could do a 6-hit combo with all six buttons in sequence if your moves could reach your target. However, you can skip any of the attacks in the sequence; i.e. you don't have to follow up each attack with the next button in the sequence. For example, you can do a Jab, Strong, Forward, Roundhouse chain combo. Or, you can do a Short, Fierce Chain Combo. However, you cannot ever go backwards in the sequence. And while you are chain comboing, you can do any kind of move: standing, crouching, or directional moves, moves that require you to hold a particular direction on the controller... an example is Donovan's standing Roundhouse: you can use either the regular Kick or the Hopping Kick. You must also make contact with the target in order to do a chain combo whether they get hit or they block. You cannot miss the target and still cancel your move's animation. Also, for multi-hit moves (like Rikuo's standing Strong or Morrigan's crouching Jab), you can cancel the latter hits. You are not forced to cancel the first hit. Thus, you could let the move hit more than once and on ANY of the latter hits, you can press a later button in the sequence and cancel the move. Also, once you begin a chain combo, you can no longer cancel a move into a special move. An example: With Felicia, you can do a crouching Forward and cancel that with the Rolling Buckler special move. However, if you do a Jab, Short, Forward chain combo, you can no longer cancel the forward kick with the special move. # Quarter and half circles How many times did you wnat to make a half circle motion and got a quarter circle instead? Theese times are now over, thanks to a new move recognition by the game! Let's take an example... You took Rikuo, finished charging up your special meter, and want to nail the opponent with a magificient Sea-Rage EX o - / | \ - o + All Punches o o o The problem is that, Mr.Murphy aiding, you get a Sonic Wave ES | \ - o + All Punches o o Rage! But there is a sure-shot method to make the move you want everytime. New in DarkStalker's Revenge is the modified half-circle motion: o - / | \ + All Punches o o o The fact that you stop the movement in the diagonal ensures that the game doesn't register a quarter cicle motion instead. There no single standart half-circle motion left in the game. # Move names All the move names here are taken from different sources. Mainly from the Darkstalkers FAQ. But every new move and throw that isn't described there is obtained from my own imagination or from the move lists of Mr.Wong and Mr.Griffith. Some of the names may have originally come from Gamest, but I'm not sure if they were in english first... Given the choice, I chose the coolest name or the only one that came to mind. Please e-mail me the genuine names if you want them to appear... # Special meter As you perform hits and moves or block a hit, this bar fills itself up. Once it is filled, it begins to fill again. There is a counter on how many times it has been filled. - blue is for one level - green is for two - orange is for three - and so on Most special moves or throws can be powered-up to ES-versions. This uses one level. The EX-moves require one level also. It appears than having more that one level loaded can be handy as you can perform multiple EX-ES-moves consecutively. Read the descriptions for more infos # Pursuit Once an opponent has been knocked down by your character, pressing or holding up + kick will cause your character to follow up and land on the downed character for an extra hit. It seems that the Short kick hits more often that the Roundhouse. If done with 2 buttons, you get a ES pursuit that does more damage. Best pursuit : Bishamon Best ES pursuit : Demitri # Throw softening If your character gets thrown by the opponent, hitting strong or fierce in the first frames of animation of the throw can have your character land on his/her feet and be in a much bettter state to retaliate. You can also throw soften hold moves such as Raptor's fierce button hold (Raptor's Bone Thrust). If you hit the fierce or strong button at the beginning frames of the hold, you can flip out right after the first hit of the hold and avoid taking more damage. You cannot soft land after throws requiring a joystick movement. # Throws Each character has a throw o- or -o + kick or punch (exept Anakaris). This one can be used in air or on the ground. Each character has special throws requiring a joystick motion and most of them have charged up ES versions. Best throw : Raptor's Bone Thrust Best move throw : Tie : Rikuo's Crystal Lancer and Hsien-Ko's Houtengeki Best ES throw : Raptor's Skull Banish Best EX throw : Victor's Great Geldenheim # Safety roll After being knocked down, you can press toward or backward to move while getting up, so you can elude your opponent. You are invincible to all normal attacks while performing the moving get-up. Also, keep hitting the buttons to recover more quickly and elude the pursuits on your still knocked down character. I try to throw my foe while getting up rather than try to flee... # Guard reversals In Darkstalkers, there is a system of counter attacks called Guard Reversals. A Guard Reversal is the ability of each character to cancel his/her own block into a particular special move, depending on who the character is. To perform a Guard Reversal, you must FINISH the code for your particular Guard Reversal at almost precisely the same moment you block the move you are attemting to Guard Reversal. It is very difficult to perform a Guard Reversal at any given moment because it takes a great amount of timing. However, performing a Guard Reversal against any multi-hitting move is relatively easy (examples are Morrigan's Valkyrie Turn, Rikuo's dashing Fierce, Felicia's Delta Kick, or any chain combos you block). After you block the first hit, you can just repeatedly do your Guard Reversal code motion and there is a good chance it will come out. Note: Anakaris has no Guard Reversal. Best guard reversal : Huitzil Best ES guard reversal : Bishamon # Button specials What I call button specials are EX moves that require you to press four buttons and one direction. To do them correctly, you don't want to wait for the animation's of the punches/kicks to finish before pressing the next button in the sequence. The key is speed. If you perform the code correctly, any move you were currently doing will be instantly cancelled and your EX will begin. It doesn't matter which move you are doing as long as it is a normal move (not a special move, not an ES, and not an EX). Try Morrigan's Astral Vision it's the first I ever did. Best button special : Anakaris' Pharaoh Magic # Notation In the following move descriptions, 'you' will mean your character and 'It' the opponent. It is always assumed that you play the character facing right. If you are facing left, reverse the motions for left and right # Methods to win When a round is finished, the winners bubble fill with one of these icons: T - Time - Won by having more energy than your opponent when time runs out V - Victory - Won by a normal kick or punch S - Special - Won by finishing the opponent off with a special move, fireball or special grab ES - ESpecial - Won by finishing off the opponent with an augmented special move EX - Extra Special - Won by finishing off the opponent with an Extra- Special move D - Double K.O. - A round ends in wich both opponents defeat each other at the axact same time (trading hits that completely drain the energy of both characters. This can only happen where both players are given "D" in both of their first bubbles and only 1 round remains. I a double K.O. occurs on the second round, the winner of the first round wins the match. If a double K.O occurs on the third round, the computer somehow figures out a winner, but I'm still not sure how... Still trying to figure that out. There are four quotes for winning with every character: One for an excellent victory: Huitzil-"Target neutralized. Threat evaluation: Wimp." Raptor-"Bah! I have no time to waste on such inferior opponents!" Demitri-"Your pathetic attemps to defeat me where truly laughable!" One normal Pyron-"I have crushed stars! What chance do you have against me?" Bishamon-"There is no dishonor in falling before me, it's only natural." Morrigan-"My victories, like my beauty, are eternal!" One for a victory where you where nearly defeated: Huitzil-"Target neutralized. Threat evaluation: Severe danger. Recommend unit upgrade." Anakaris-"You could challenge Ra, but I Pharaoh Anakaris am the greatest warrior of all time!" Talbain-"You skill is great, but mine is supreme!" One for a victory agains a copy of your character: Huitzil-"Rogue unit deactivated. Commencing production of new unit." Felicia-"A cheap copy, and I do mean cheap, is no match for me!" Donovan-"Get thee away from me phantom! There can only be one!" The only round that affects which quote comes out is the final one There are also different winning poses/animations that each character has after they win a round. Every character has at least one. There are special poses for special situations, such as getting a perfect (Donovan), beating the computer Pyron (Raptor and Bishamon), defeating the computer Pyron the second time on Round 2 with an EX Special (Anakaris), and holding all three kicks or punches before the pose comes out (Morrigan). There may be more. If anybody knows more... Also, everyone has animations for the beginning of a match and most characters have more than one: one for normal battles and another for when the computer controlled player appears on their own stage. Example: Felicia's normal match entry animation is her as a cat which gets shot by lighting. The cat grows into Felicia who reels with the shock and then gets ready for the fight. On her own stage, however, Felicia appears as a cat walking on the wall for a brief second and then suddenly rolls toward the fighting area towards you and gets ready for the fight. There is also one special entry animation in which Raptor fights Hsien-Ko. Check this one out for a total laugh! # Extra Specials It appears that not every character has 3 special attacks. These are all I actually know of. Second, it appears that there are multiple possibilities to do some moves. If you got a combination that works, please contact me. Anakaris has three PHARAOH MAGIC PORTAL OF DOOM PHARAOH SPIRIT Bishamon has two BUSHIDO CRUSH WARRIOR SLASH Demitri has two MIDNIGHT PLEASURE MIDNIGHT BLAST Donovan has two DEITY STOMP DEMON AIRLINES Felicia has two ROLLING FLASH FELINE TEAM Hsien-Ko has two DEMONIC CUISINARD DEATH FROM ABOVE Huitzil has two CONFUSIONER BOMBARDMENT Raptor has three DEATH VOLTAGE EVIL SCREAM HELL DUNK Morrigan has three VALKYRIE TURN DOPPELGANGER ASTRAL VISION Pyron has one COSMO DISRUPTION Rikuo has four SEA RAGE AQUA SPLASH WATER JAIL OYSTER SMASHER Sasquatch has two ICE BEACON THIN ICE Talbain has two SHADOW HOWL DRAGON CANNON Victor has two THUNDER BREAK GREAT GERDENHEIM Rikuo's fourth EX may seem like a joke... Uneffective, ugly, and poor damage... The reason for this is that it could in fact be a joke! In the original Darkstalkers in Japan, Rikuo's Crouching Fierce, which has the exact same animation of Rikuo's 4th EX, had to be blocked high but many people complained that it was a cheesy move. So in the American release of DS, they took it out and let you block the move if you were crouching. When DS Revenge came out, the programmers decided to stick the move BACK in the game, but only as an EX and only for the original two colors (Roundhouse and Start). I guess it was a joke or something but it is useful. It might be a waste of a full meter, though. # Thanks to - James Chen : Morrigan 54 combo, Oyster Smasher, minimal moves, Sword Toss descriptions, main tester co-writer thanks to his work.

One of the Egyptians says "My Lord, you have returned." Anakaris mentions a promise to protect them for all of time, and shows them the power he has gained on his journey -- he hold his hands above him and a white light is emitted from his hands into the air in a beam.

Raptor demands that his master fulfill his end of the bargain... to give Raptor ultimate power. The big guy agrees and bestows the power upon Raptor. Raptor, relishing in his new-found power. Raptor: Yes, this is it! I now have the power to rule the world! Master: Yes, Raptor... and shall I rule you. Master leaves. Raptor: Fool! No one controls Lord Raptor! He then says that, in the end, he would even rule over his master! He then grows into a very demonic and scary-looking Raptor! MORRIGAN: (please correct) Picture of Pyron unconscious on the ground, Morrigan leaning over him. Morrigan says something like: "Sleep now forever. Sleep and dream of me." She then kisses him, then he shrivels up into a corpse. Picture of the castle in Morrigan's background, then a servant. Servant says something like: "Mistress, you were gone so long! I was so worried. If the 'master' found out about your jumps to Earth, he'd do things to me that would frighten even you!" Morrigan: Don't worry, I can handle 'the master.' Picture of a large room, Morrigan lying on a stone slab. Servant: So what were you doing on earth? Morrigan: Just having some fun, nothing to be worried about. Morrigan turns to the screen and smiles. The shot of the smiling Morrigan "closes" like a book and vines grow along it. PYRON: (please correct) Pyron exclaims that he now is the most powerful being in space! He then declares that the earth will now become a part of his collection. Then, we switch scenes to a seismologist crying out that temperatures are rising off the scale! Switch to a scene of the earth... shrinking... and orbiting... around one of Pyron's fingers as a ring... RIKUO: (please correct) After Rikuo defeats Pyron, you see him back in his stage (background) Rikuo: "At last, the threat of the Dark One has passed." A female version of Rikuo splashes out of the water. She: "I have heard of a great warrior, a lord of the seas and had hoped he be one of my kind." Rikuo: "How can this be? I thought I was the last of my kind. Be my queen, we can start all over" (something like that). Rikuo and the mermaid underwater, with the mermaid holding their baby. The narration then says something like "One year later, an heir to the throne is born, an heir to a budding empire!" SASQUATCH: The family of Sasquatches gather around, what appears to be, the Sasquatch Elder. They are all excited about a new letter they received from their leader... "Quick! Read it!" the children cry. "He has done it!" they all exclaim. They are all happy that the leader has won... the conquering of humans shall now begin! Switch to a scene where Sasquatch is jump kicking a tree... he declares that the Bigfoot race shall take over the human race and come out of hiding to assume their rightful rule! VICTOR: Victor is caressing a skeleton's skull. The skeleton is lying in a red coffin, and Victor is leaning over it. Victor: Doctor, Doctor wake up. You made me the strongest and I won. Why are you so quiet? The screen pans over to a girl behind Victor: Girl: Victor... Girl: Father cannot share your joy. The villagers were not so kind. Come, there is much to do. New picture of girl swinging on Victor's finger. Girl: Tomorrow we plan but today let us celebrate! a,b,c : punches (increasing order) A,B,C : kicks (increasing order) G : Guard reversal * : must be done in air # : can be done in air = : can be done out of a dash / : choice up backwards diagonal up up towards diagonal 7 8 9 backwards 4 5 6 towards 1 2 3 down backwards diagonal down down towards diagonal ANAKARIS =-=-=-=- 236 + P Mummy Wrapper 44 Pharaoh Port * 236 + P Royal Judgement 8 in air floats a+A/b+B/c+C Coffin Fall 2/3 + C Pyramid Crush 214 + K Echo Back Swallow 236 + K Echo Back Spit 46 + P Cobra Blow Ba2Ab PHARAOH MAGIC 4123 + AK PORTAL OF DOOM aa2BC PHARAOH SPIRIT BISHAMON =-=-=-=- * 896 + P Seal of death 4/6 + P Shoulder Throw 4123 + P Sword Toss 632147 + P Rising Slash Throw 236 + P Storm Wind 412369 + P 4 + P Flip Sword G 623 + P Rising Slash .46 + P/K Quick Slash 6321 + P BUSHIDO CRUSH 623 + AP 4123 + AK WARRIOR SLASH DEMITRI =-=-=-= # 236 + P Chaos Flare 4/6 + P Pile Driver =G 623 + P Demon Craddle 632147 + P Negative Stolen # 214 + K Bat Spin 412369 + P 263 + AP MIDNIGHT PLEASURE 263 + AK MIDNIGHT BLAST DONOVAN =-=-=-= * 2 + K Sword Surf 4/6 + P Levitate...
